Science Trains Wildcats for the Challenges to Come Intelligent, curious, or just plain bug happy are only a few of the adjectives that could be applied to the happenings in the varied departments of science. Intelligent is the only word to explain the utmost in science, physics. S2lf2gt2 is the secret password into the world of physics. Physics prepares the high school students to the highest degree of science. Curiosity is encouraged in chemistry. The exploration of elements and matter aids in the comprehension of ideas that were once only words in the textbooks. Bug happy is the only word for the dis- secting, chopping biology student. Biology is the introduction into science for many North Little Rock students. All these science courses join together to make the NLRHS student a well-rounded science graduate prepared for the vast field of careers that lie in the future. No, these aren't skin divers-- -they're chemistry students trying out the new lab goggles. This must be it---it's the only thing we've found that looks like the picture in the book, Bob Vint and Don Trickey dissect a frog in biology. This is making me dizzy---Physics students Fred Smith and Patsy Kyle measure the number of times a pendulum swings back and forth in a minute. 19

Mathematics These Subjects Call For Brain Power Mathematics is defined as, the science of quantity and number and of operations involving them. Today mathematics is much broader than just dealing with numbers and their relations to each other. A math student must deal with unknowns, radicals, logarithms, hyperbolas, ellipses, sines, co-sines, and inverse variations. Almost any occupation in the modern world requires a great understanding of math and its related courses. Some phases of employment require only a minimum knowledge of math but most of the newly-createdjobs and opportunities expect plane or solid geometry, algebra, ad- vanced math, trigonometry, and the other higher math courses offered. Scientists, engineers, architects, aswell as businessmen of tomorrow get their beginning in the field of math offered to them in high school. It is here that they begin with the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and advance from there to the more difficult and complicated phases of the New Math. Mathematics is being emphasized more and more in the world today and is becoming a prerequisite for any and all vocations. Bob Moncrief, Charlie Heitt, and Gary Yeilding perform at the blackboard.

Languages Help Us Communicate With the World Since the beginning of time the most popular method of communication has been that of language. It began as a simple form of expressing oneself and has developed into an intricate system of vowels and consonants. N. L. R. H. S. offers to its studentsa Varied curriculum in the language arts: two years of Latin, two of French, and a new three year Spanish program. At the completion of each course, the student has acquired a sizable vocabulary, a knowledge of the customs and traditions of the country, and an idea of the functual linguistics as well as speaking ability. Each language offers to its students a new and exciting experience introducing to each a wide new world. Can I help it if it's all Latin to me ? asks Maurice Graham as Rodger Sanders tries to teach him to analyze sentences. Song leaders Sandra Firestone and Linda Landers lead the class in some Spanish songs. :..as.f.-11 --f,-,, f .- W.
